Endangered Rhino Named Hope Travels Across World to Save His Species

The last Sumatran rhino in the entire western hemisphere has officially arrived in Indonesia to help save his species from extinction.

The 8-year-old hero, Harapan (“Hope” in Indonesian), left Ohio and traveled nearly 10,000 miles to the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary at Way Kambas National Park–and officials expect he is ready to save the day.

Fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos are left in the wild, yet only a handful of zoos and sanctuaries have been working to improve captive breeding programs to help keep the species alive.
